Patches to add rtl8192eu support was pulled into wireless-drivers-next
recently and scheduled for the 4.7 kernel. It is not in Linus' tree
yet. You should be able to try it out by either building Kalle's
wireless-drivers-next or my rtl8xxxu-devel branch.
The Realtek 8192EU driver you referenced is not scheduled to get pulled
into the upstream Linux kernel.
Cheers,
Jes
